FOR : THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS 

 
FROM : THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OFFICER III 
 
SUBJECT : SUPPLEMENTAL PROPOSAL: WORKFORCE ASSESSMENT 
WORKSHOP FOR 4PS SYSTEMS FOCAL 
 
DATE : 16 MARCH 2021 
 
 
 
I. Reference/s 
 
● FY 2021 WFP of the 4Ps NPMO 
● Approved Activity Proposal on Workforce Assessment Workshop for 4Ps 
Systems Focal 
 
II. Background 
 
This  pertains  to  the  approved  activity  proposal  on  the  Workforce  Assessment  Workshop 
for  4Ps  Systems  Focal  that  will  ensure  that  the  technical  capacity  of  4Ps  is  continuously 
sustained  in  the  regional  level  with  the  help  of  the  NPMO  counterparts.  This  activity will 
be  virtually  conducted  in  3  batches  and  shall  be  attended  by  the  4Ps  Systems  Focal  and 
their immediate supervisors.  
 
III.Key Points & Recommendations 
 
The previous activity proposal did not include in its budget the honorarium for the 
Resource  Person  as  they  initially  did  not see the need to. However, they saw that a subject 
matter  expert  is  required  in  order  to  assist  the  proponent  division  in  consolidating  and 
finalizing  the  desired  technical  outputs.  I  agree  that  a  resource  person  is  necessary  for 
that reason, and also to have a perspective of an expert that is outside the Department. 
 
They  will  be  engaging  the  same  Resource  Person  who  conducted  the  first  batch  of  the 
Workforce Planning Workshop for 4Ps Key Positions last March 2020, wherein the 
sessions  turned  out  to  be  productive  and  they  were  able  to  enhance  the  positions’  TOR. 
The  honorarium  will  amount  to  Php  52,290.00  for  21  hours  and  for  all  3  batches.  This  is 
well within the budget of the 4Ps M&E Fund. 
 
For the signature of the Assistant Secretary. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I further certify that all the documentary requirements have been subjected to the principle of completed staff  work 
and  have  been  evaluated  with  diligence  and  found  in  order  in  accordance  with  prescribed  policies,  guidelines  and 
procedures.
